Chapter 1440: Xiao Jingyu Is Angry
Translator: Lonelytree
Therefore, they thought that other than the Shui Zhou Kingdom, which was surrounded by water, who else would go to that place?
She didn’t expect that this item would actually appear in the Ni Lai Wo Wang Inn. Moreover, the price was ridiculously high!
Xiao Jingyu had eaten something from the bottom of the sea before, so she said disdainfully but lightly,” The thing from the bottom of the sea has a fishy smell. Can it be eaten?” This meant that the food was not delicious, and the price was high.
The waiter explained with a smile, “Miss, everyone says our food is delicious. The things at the bottom of the sea had a fishy smell, but after being processed, they had a different smell. Many customers liked it very much.”The waiter made a special gesture and pointed at the garlic abalone ordered by the guests at the other tables in the lobby!
Xiao Jingyu and her servant looked around. Indeed, many customers had ordered this garlic abalone. Moreover, judging from their enjoyment, they knew that this dish was delicious and suited their tastes.
Xiao Jingyu’s expression changed slightly under the veil. She continued to read. When she saw that a dish was priced at 1666 taels, her eyes widened. What kind of dish was this? The price was simply sky-high. It was ridiculously expensive.
Xiao Jingyu asked,” What dish is this ‘Buddha jumps over the wall’?”
The waitress said,” This Buddha Jumps Over The Wall Soup is a speciality of this inn. Buddha Jumps Over The Wall is also known as Full Altar Soup, which can preserve one’s longevity. It is made from 18 ingredients, including sea cucumber, abalone, shark’s fin, dried scallops, fish lips, fish glue, clam, ham, pork belly, lamb’s elbow, hoof tip, chicken breast, duck breast, etc. The Buddha Jumps Over The Wall Soup was rich in nutrients and could achieve the effects of beauty and delaying aging.”
Xiao Jingyu listened to the waiter’s introduction and was very tempted.
However, when she saw the price, she hesitated.
This was too expensive.
Although Xiao Jingyu had travelled from the Black Clouds Kingdom to the
Longyan Kingdom for a marriage alliance, the Emperor and the Crown Prince had given her a lot of dowries so that she could make some arrangements in the Black Clouds Kingdom and see if she could take in some people for her own use.
However, she also knew that she was not a real princess. Xiao Jingrui would send someone to register everything she used.
Just like now, she had to think twice before staying at the inn and eating a meal.
This made her very angry but helpless.
The waiter looked at the expression between her eyebrows and raised his eyebrows. He strongly recommended,” Guest, this Buddha Jumps Over The Wall Soup has very obvious beauty effects. It’s also anti-ageing. It’s the first-class dish that the rich ladies of the capital choose.”
The waiter specifically said that she was a rich lady.
The meaning was obvious. If the other rich women could afford it, how could the princess of the richest country not be able to afford it?
Before Xiao Jingyu entered the inn, what happened instantly spread to everyone in the inn. Moreover, the servant girl beside her repeatedly emphasized her master’s identity and made a fuss. It was difficult not to let people know.
Besides, the waiter had received orders from the higher-ups to let Xiao Jingyu spend as much money as she could.
As for the most expensive dish in the inn, of course, it was the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall Soup.
When Xiao Jingyu heard that it had the effect of beauty and anti-ageing, she was very tempted. When she heard that this dish was the first choice of this rich lady in the capital, she was very excited.
But…
The waiter continued to say,” This Buddha Jumps Over The Wall Soup is a limited edition dish provided by this inn. We only serve three servings a day. Coincidentally, if you want this Buddha Jumps Over The Wall Soup, we have the last one!”
Xiao Jingyu listened to her words and thought about the business of the tavern. If she did not eat the Buddha Jumps Over The Wall Soup today, it was very likely that she would not be able to eat it in the future.
Just as Xiao Jingyu was about to grit her teeth and eat this dish, she heard the waiter at the next table ask,” Waiter, is there still Buddha jumps over the wall soup today? My old man wants to eat Buddha jumps over the wall soup.”
The waiter looked at the customer. Just as he was about to answer, he heard Xiao Jingyu say first,” Give me a Buddha jumps over the wall!”
This was the last one.
If this portion was snatched away by a person, it was very likely that she would not be able to eat it in the future.
Anyway, Xiao Jingrui hadn’t left Longyan Country yet, so she could just ask him for some money to spend.
“Alright, Princess!” Since she had already exposed herself as the princess, the waitress naturally followed suit.
Then, he said to another customer,” I’m sorry, Minister Chen.. The last serving of ‘Buddha jumps over the wall’ has been ordered!”
